Eagles

I like animals. Especially, I like eagles, so I want to tell about it.

Eagles are so cool and good name, so I like them. By the way, do you know the difference between eagles and hawks? Eagles are called “Washi” in Japan, and hawks are called “Taka” in Japan. They don’t have the difference clearly. Eagles are bigger than hawks. Just like that.

Eagles are the king of birds, so ancestors professed them. Many countries use them as the symbol mark. For example, America, Russia and Republic of Serbia are use them as the own country’s symbol mark. They are national bird in America and Philippine.

There are some kinds of eagles in the world. Sea eagle is called “ Owashi” in Japan. It lived in Korea, China, Russia and Japan. In summer, it goes to Russia or China, and it comes back to Japan in winter. Especially, it comes back to Hokkaido. Its beak and leg are yellow, and its body is black and white. It is a natural treasure in Japan. It is getting extinct. There are only 5200 in the world. Next, I want to tell you about golden eagle. It is called “Inuwashi” in Japan. It lives in Africa, North America and Eurasia. It sometimes comes to Japan in winter. When it is a child, it is white, but when it grows up, it turns into black. In Japan, “Inu” means weak. So Inuwashi is not high status in Japan. It is a national bird in Mexico. Touhoku Rakuten Golden Eagles which is a baseball team in Japan comes from Inuwasi. Bald eagle is called “Hakutouwashi”. Their head is white, so it is written “白頭” in Japanese. It lived in North America. I think it is the coolest of birds. It is famous in America, so it is used many kind of symbol mark, for example, ministries and government offices or low enforcement agency.

If I were an animal, I want to be an eagle!
